I’m not the master’s Sternum
I’m not the master’s Skull
I’m not the master’s Scapula
I think that’s rather dull
I’m not a Metacarpus
That job is well in hand
And being a Metatarsus…
I really couldn’t stand
A Tibia or Fibula ?
That's not a job I want
I’m such a mellow fellow
I’m always nonchalant
I entertain the Rib Cage
I entertain the Jaw
The Clavicle just loves me
He always asks for more
His Pelvic Girdle giggles
His coccyx thinks I’m mad
Thoracics find me witty
Which makes me really glad
For I’m a happy chappy
I’m cheerful all the time
Always smiling brightly
I'm always in my prime
I am the luckiest guy around
The Elbow is my home
I’m known as Harry Humerus
Cos I’m a 'Funny-Bone'
Author notes
Not sure if this is a biology lesson, or a bit of wacky humour, but either way, I hope it brings a smile.
Thank you

Well now I think it is a bit of both for, although the references could be a bit vague for kids, it is a gerat way to generate interest in one's skeleton and would be neat way to recall it for class! Best of luck in this and all of your endeavors.

Why the fuck aren't you writing in children's books boyo? You could make a fortune of this I mean come on! Your keeping ME entertained with this! Normally I hate these kinda poems! But alas! You keep sucking me back in with your greatness.
Nice flow, no... Amazing flow, the rhymes is excellent and not forced at all... Damn you, is your talent for sale? Can I obtain it somehow? Can I have your genetically altered babies?
P.S Im kinda back, btw. -
